Got tires this week

The one above goes down inside the speedo cog housing, the O-ring goes on the outside where it slides up into the transmission from what I remember. espirist shows it here: I found a picture of the O-ring I'm thinking about. Uploading Attachment...

Maybe this seal? https://www.thezstore.com/product/3008/factory-speedometer-pinion-o-ring-small-70-86-240z-260z-280z-280zx-300zx There is also an O ring that I think goes in the cable end. IIRC

I needed to tweak my hold down bracket a bit but this Noco NLX24 look and fits great! Yes, it’s a Group 24 but the top is 12mm smaller in both directions so it needs shimming. I bought a sheet of 6mm thick rubber and sliced shims for the top, which I held in place with some RTV. I cut the leftovers into pads to raise the battery 6mm so the bracket is horizontal. Fits like it’s supposed to be there. I just need to get the ground strap back on, which will be a cinch since this has four posts. Good stuff.

Ok, I solved the second one https://www.amazon.com/OAUTOO-165pcs-Assortment-Chrysler-Toyota/dp/B0C5VB83XN/ref=asc_df_B0C5VB83XN?mcid=52195ebd89f3349f9f7232da7174862d&hvocijid=13820313418102357919-B0C5VB83XN-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13820313418102357919&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010452&hvtargid=pla-2281435179258&psc=1 Any ideas on the first problem??

That’s the idea! I was given one of theirs jump starters as a joke/gift a while ago. It is kind of amazing. I picked this up with their Genius 10 trickle charger, which will work through the cigar lighter in cars where it’s not switched.

Sweet!

I used a 6" cotton polishing wheel (from Harbor Freight) on my bench grinder which turns at 3500 rpm. The polishing compound is the "Brown" compound also from Harbor Freight. I was a little worried about burning, but it didn't seem to be an issue at all. There was no paint involved, just sanding and polishing.
